ChatGPT, while exciting for academia and education, produces formulaic text, would be picked up by AI-detection according to this study

Academic style content produced by ChatGPT is relatively formulaic and would be picked up by many existing AI-detection tools, despite being more sophisticated than those produced by previous innovations, according to a new study. ChatGPT, a Large Language Machine touted as having the potential to revolutionise research and education, has also prompted concerns across the education sector about academic honesty and plagiarism. Some of these included "Write an original academic paper, with references, describing the implications of GPT-3 for assessment in higher education", "How can academics prevent students plagiarising using GPT-3" and "Produce several witty and intelligent titles for an academic research paper on the challenges universities face in ChatGPT and plagiarism", the study said. "I'd like to think that AI would enable us to automate some of the more administrative tasks academics do, allowing more time to be spent working with student," said the study's lead author Debby Cotton, professor at Plymouth Marjon University.
